    Palm live spread....or liver spread?

    Not the cheapest to get your groceries, nor the cheapest with their hot food selections. My suggestion is go there towards closing when their prepared food section is reduced. Too unorganized with too many products in the middle of the isle.

    Awesome grocery store that is not only nice inside but sells EVERYTHING! I saw a lot of unique items for the first time. even tons of different hot foods, seating area, and a playground for kids. This is definitely a place with something for everyone. Theres some great deals too. Check this place out if you get the chance.

    This place is a real wonderland. Great grocery selection ! Lots of interesting yummy things that are hard to find. The arcade is top notch! They have Mario Kart! The kids play area is amazing. It's got one of the coolest atmospheres in the city in terms of a grocery store. It really is an experience. It's been awhile since I've been as I'm not in the area as much.

Seriously their beef bahn mi is not traditional, but it's something I used to go out of my way to get.

    My very first experience with Nations Fresh Foods was the location in Vaughan/Woodbridge. I was most impressed by it. Then I went to the location in Mississauga and was much less impressed. This location at Stock Yards Village is pretty good. In addition to the grocery store and food court, they also have an arcade and a kids play area with huge slides and a ball pit. So Nations is an international grocery store. It has foods from all over the globe. This diversity is reflected in their food court. They have foods such as pizza, burgers, fish and chips, quesadillas, dim sum, bubble tea, jerk chicken and chicken biryani. They have pay-by-weight buffet items (both hot and cold), a la carte, combos, made-to-order, and pre-packaged. The grocery is big and bright. They have a small bakery section. I did get some Portuguese Egg Tarts ($1.19 each), which I ordered from the counter and weren't pre-packaged, but unfortunately they were stale. The crust was soft and chewy, not flaky and crispy :( I'm hoping this was a one-off. They had lots of cool stuff that I had never seen before like Coffee flavoured with Mangosteen from the Phillipines, an effervescent drink from Italy, and some Pandan flavoured condensed milk (forget where it was from, but I think the Philippines). They had exotic KitKats from Japan and exotic Lays Potato Chip flavours. My parents and I did eat at the food court and overall the food was pretty good by food court standards. I'm giving this place 4 stars because of the cool factor, and that it's different than any grocery store I've ever seen. It's in the maze-like structure that is Stock Yards Village. Lots of free parking if you can find your way around, lol.

    Plenty of food options and they're pretty good! Professional friendly fast service! It's inside a huge grocery store with an arcade! Great ambiance!

    Wow I'm speechless. I'm surprised that this supermarket would have it's on food court and a gaming arcade for the kids. I quickly glanced around to see what the supermarket had in-stock. Usually you don't find cheese or deli meats in Asian owned supermarket. They have both and have a competitive price compared to Loblaws and metro. I also checked to see their Asian snack selection and its massive. The prices are fair and not that crazily jacked up compared to those specialty snack stores. Afterwards I explored their drink selection, they have a huge variety of Asian, and south american drinks. I also checked their herbs selection and see hard to find stuff like galganga, curry leaves, and keffir lime leaves. I also found so many weird vegetables that I don't usually find in Chinatown. Lastly I checked the meat department, the prices for meat were either equivalent or cheaper than Chinatown. I also found game meat such as duck and rabbit. And they have a pretty nice seafood selection.

    So great to see the old Target store turn into a food market, this space is so enormous! Lot's of great grocery options, love seeing a giant variety of spices especially, I need to slow down next time I visit and look at everything more carefully. Loved the food court, so many fresh meals and dim sum, food and drinks for every palate! I'll be back in a few weeks and update.

    This place has everything, even a playground and arcade for little kids (although probably not cheap).

    Awesome selection of Eastern European foods and drinks! I went to look for items from the country…read moreof Georgia, and found several items, including mineral waters (Borjomi and Nabeglavi), they also had Naktaktari tarragon lemonade, and several Georgian foods including Thkemali sauce, khmeli suneli spice, and several other foods I used to enjoy in Georgia including Jacobs coffee, Turkish coffee, Mayo and ketchup in the pouch, etc. They have a cooler of cheeses, kefir, fishes, and meats, a deli, as well as a freezer of dumplings, ice creams, cakes, and other frozen items. There's an aisle of sweets and an aisle of baking ingredients. Another aisle of non perishables, and drinks, and bulk candies as well. Even a pharmacy. Really a great variety and different items than what I've seen at other Eastern European stores in the area. Highly recommend!

    Came back here the other day and got some Kvass, Sirki (Russian cheesecake dessert), pelmeni…read more(Russian dumplings sold frozen), some deli smoked meats and cheese. They have one of the largest selections of Kvass that I've seen out of any of the Russian/Ukranian stores and all very reasonably priced. They also sell Kefir. As mentioned in the previous review, they also sell medicine/pharmacy that you'd typically find in Russian and Eastern Europe, so it's pretty unique to see it out here. Store clerk was friendly.

    I was so excited when I found out Bestco was opening in downtown! They have a really great…read moreselection from Asian snacks, ice cream, and standard groceries to seasonal items like mooncakes. Prices are comparable (if not cheaper) than the supermarkets in Chinatown, which is a huge plus. They also have a hot bar where you can grab food by the pound. Most of the options are deep fried, so not the healthiest, but it hits the spot if you need something quick, definitely gives Panda Express vibes. On top of that, there's a small skincare section with decent prices and even some Jellycats tucked in (so cute!). Downstairs, there's a little boba shop. I tried their cheese grape drink, which was not too sweet and came with fun jelly toppings. Overall, I'm really happy to have Bestco nearby and will definitely be doing most of my grocery shopping here.

    Finally! I've been eagerly awaiting the opening of this incredible grocery store and today was the…read moreday! Fresh produce, meats, and seafood. Dried goods, frozen foods, kitchenware. Health/beauty products and toys?! The second floor footprint is huge! They have organized the space and truly maximized all the square footage. The shelves are all fully stocked with products that have been meticulously placed. Rows upon rows of beverages, snacks, instant noodles, etc. You'll find a variety of mostly East Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) and other multicultural foods. Who needs a $388 cuboid watermelon? Staff are eager to assist the best they can. The current grand opening promo is spend $100 and get a $10 voucher. If you were one of the first 100 people in the store today, you received a $20 voucher. Welcome to the neighbourhood! I've been telling everyone I know!
